New luxury lodge for Tasmania
The newly-opened Tarraleah Lodge, located in a restored art deco-style building just a 90-minute drive from Hobart, is set to become another of Tasmania’s luxurious wilderness resorts.
Perched high on a plateau on the edge of the World Heritage wilderness area the property is an ideal base for a range of activities including guided trout fishing.
The village of Tarraleah was originally built to house pioneering hydro-electricity workers in the 1930s. The village was bought by a local company in early 2005, and has since been developed to create a five-star lodge with nine spa suites and a cliff-top spa tub.
The property also offers 15 art-deco style cottages, 10 apartments in the former 1940s schoolhouse, a gourmet restaurant called Scholars, a café and tavern.
Tarraleah is situated midway between Hobart and the west coast town of Strahan, surrounded by Tasmania’s temperate wilderness. With virtually no alternative accommodation along this popular but challenging six-hour drive, it gives visitors access to a vast area of ancient forests, streams, rivers, lakes and mountains.
There are more than 80 bird species in the region, including wedge-tailed eagles and black swans – as well as an abundance of rare and elusive wildlife species, including platypus and Tasmanian devils,
Activities range from playing golf on Tasmania’s highest golf course, (from where on a clear day you can see Mount Wellington in Hobart) to mountain biking, kayaking and boating on pristine lagoons, to bush-walking, 4WD adventure tours and star-safaris.
*Selling Down Under keeps you up-to-date with Australian travel product with a bi-monthly turn-the-page on-line publication for the travel industry. Make sure you get your online edition by going to www.sellingdownunder.com or sending an email to register@sellingdownunder.com
